Edited my original review as I can't be bothered reviewing each episode.
It blows my mind that this got such a huge marketing push and is so mediocre. Feels like they must have some huge money behind the game or something because I find it hard to believe Geoff Keighley saw the game as was like "WOW!!!".
Really ugly, bad writing (I'm sure real people actually speak like this but I don't want to spend time with them) and the sparse gameplay bits feel awful to play and I could genuinely make all of them in Unity if you gave me a week.
They honestly should have just tried to get this on Netflix as an interactive story instead of pretending it's a "game".
(Also it had a good trophy list but had some really annoying trophies at the end which require you to replay the final 1h20m chapter except it's not like "look how different it can be if you make different choices!", all 3 playthroughs are almost exactly the same but you get a different cutscene at the end.)
